Lenovo K10 Plus smartphone - advantages and disadvantages

The autumn season of 2019 has delighted mobile device users with many new smartphone models from leading manufacturers. The Chinese brand Lenovo has not lagged behind in updating the arsenal of products offered. How the newcomer of the aforementioned company Lenovo K10 Plus turned out will be considered by the content of the presented article.

Features of appearance

The external design of the K 10 plus corresponds to the existing traditions of visualization of electronic mobile mechanisms: a strict case with rounded corners, a full-size screen, a drop-shaped notch in the upper part of the front surface for a selfie sensor, on the back panel there is a triple main camera, which is fashionable today and traditional for devices of this kind. fingerprint sensor. A wide variety of color solutions for the design of the body part is not provided: classic black and, for a change, blue with a gradient options are offered.

Specifications

Display

The device is equipped with a touch screen with a diagonal size of 6.22 inches. For the manufacture of the display, IPS technology is used, which is distinguished by a decent level of color rendering and viewing angles that are comfortable for the human eye. Such a matrix is ​​used in their professional field by many specialists whose production activities are related to video editing, graphic design, photo and video materials processing. The screen resolution is 2340 * 1080, which corresponds to the FullHD + quality parameters.

The proportion of the main dimensions of the display (length and width), like a great variety of modern devices, is equal to the standard ratio - 19½: 9. Such an indicator, as the practice of operation shows, provides the owner of the device with convenience when viewing video content, text and graphic files, as well as the implementation of his other needs: communication via Skype and e-mail, using social networks, the implementation of gaming addictions in mobile mode.

Platform

The smartphone provides for the operation of the ZUI 11 shell, the basis for which is the Android 9 Pie operating system in demand at the moment. This version of the platform in 2019 was most widely used in electronic devices, due to its capabilities related to the simplification of multitasking, as well as the implementation of an increased autonomy rate due to the provision of priority conditions to those applications that are most often used by the owner.

In the phone device, the Snapdragon 632 chipset, made according to a 14 nanometer technological process, is used not the newest, but quite productive for the budget segment. The video accelerator Adreno 506 is used as a game component.

Memory

Internal data storages are characterized by the following volumes:

• random access memory - 4 GB;
• built-in storage - 64 GB.

With increased consumer demands for this parameter, it is possible to expand the existing internal reserves at the expense of an external source - a memory card, with which you can add up to 256 GB of memory. You can place microSD in one of the slots of the tray, designed for two units of SIM cards.

Battery device

A lithium-polymer non-removable battery is responsible for the state of charge in the smartphone. Its capacity is standard by modern standards: 4050 mAh. We can say that this is a good indicator for a budget model. With the everyday use of the device, this capacity should be sufficient to ensure the operable state of the phone for two days. With the active use of the phone for solving diverse tasks and merciless use as a means of implementing game processes or watching movies, you may need to restore the charge on a daily basis.

In any case, in the event of force majeure, which often happens in the lives of modern users leading an active lifestyle, when the smartphone screen treacherously goes out at the most inopportune moment, the included 18W device for quick charge recovery will help eliminate the problem.

Cameras

The location of the rear camera on the rear panel is the upper left corner. The main camera is equipped in the fashion of today with an up-to-date three-module sensor. In a specific case, it includes three constituent elements, placed one above the other:

• the main sensor has a resolution of 13 megapixels with a pixel parameter of 1.12 microns and has an aperture of f / 2.0;
• wide-angle sensor boasts viewing angles up to 120 degrees and a resolution of 8 megapixels;
• the depth sensor for creating images with the presence of the background blur effect has a 5 megapixel resolution.

The main camera is traditionally equipped with an LED flash, capable of operating in panorama and high dynamic range modes, recording videos in 1080p @ 30.

The secondary (selfie) camera housed in a notch on the front has a 16 megapixel sensor at its disposal. The front camera supports HDR and records video in 1080p @ 30fps.

Network and interfaces

In the equipment of the gadget, the manufacturer included a hybrid tray for Nano-format SIM cards in the amount of two copies. Their work is organized in dual stand-by mode. If one of the available slots for a memory card is used, the owner will be able to use only one telephone card.

Like all modern smartphones, Lenovo K10 Plus implements a wireless internet connection. As such, Wi-Fi of the 802.11 b / g / n standard is used. The present Wi-Fi Direct will facilitate direct communication between a real telephone device and other electronic gadgets.

Bluetooth version 5 will help you transfer information from one device to another at a short distance.

Information about where the object is located on the globe at the current time will be provided by the GPS system (satellite navigator A-GPS).

One of the options for organizing leisure time with the new device can be listening to musical compositions through an FM radio.

Sound

The device implements a hands-free mode.

There is a 3.5 mm jack thanks to which it is possible to connect headphones.

The Dolby Atmos sound 3D sound technology used in the device will help to make it more realistic and create a three-dimensional sound picture.

Additional features

In order to ensure the security of information stored in the smartphone, a fingerprint sensor is used, which restricts access to applications and files of the device. Having recognized the owner by fingerprint, the device responds with instant unlocking. Given the fact that an IPS matrix is ​​used for the display, it is not possible to install a fingerprint recognition sensor on the screen, so the fingerprint sensor can be found in the central part of the rear surface of the gadget.

Also, the surveillance equipment includes an accelerometer familiar to modern smartphones, thanks to which the turns of the telephone structure in space are tracked, which is important for mobile gamers who are fond of active games.

There is also an actual proximity sensor, the essence of which is that when the device approaches the ear opening, its screen automatically turns off. Thanks to this device, accidental pressing of the ear or cheek on the display keys is eliminated, and also the phone's battery is saved. Such advantages make it possible to judge that a telephone conversation will be as comfortable and economical as possible.

The cost

According to the available information, the model goes on sale in the Indian market at an initial price of $ 155. As for other sales markets, no data was provided.

Advantages and disadvantages

Based on the foregoing, certain positive and negative aspects of the presented device can be noted.

• display parameters comfortable to meet the user's needs with good picture display quality;
• characteristics of the main camera and selfie sensor;
• the duration of the battery life of the smartphone from one charge, the presence of the fast charging option;
• affordable cost of the product;
• attractive modern design.

• as a shortcoming, we can note the absence of an NFC module, which is very popular among modern consumers as a means of implementing contactless payments.

Potential consumers are attracted by such features of the new model as a large display, a rear camera with three sensors, a 4050 mAh battery that supports fast charging technology in combination with the phone's affordability.
